That's great Stacy2012. I have found alpha-lipoic acid & evening primrose oil to help my pain.

FYI--I have a book called Foods That Fight Pain, Neal D. Barnard, M.D., which says that there are two natural fats from plants that have anti-inflammatory properties:

The first is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in several foods, but in concentrated form in flaxseeds and flaxseed oil. You can ground flaxseed and add to salads, oatmeal, cereal, smoothies, or lots of other foods without even knowing it's there. This is in the omega-3 family of fatty acids, and is also found in fish oil.

The second is called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is much rarer. It is found in borage oil, evening primrose oil, black currant oil, and hemp oil.

I can't figure out why evening primrose oil helps with my PN, but I have tried borage oil and couple of times, which had more GLA, and it did not help the same way.
